An elderly couple and their maid were tied by robbers during a daylight heist at a residence in Northwest Delhi on Monday, the police said.

According to the police, the incident took place around 11 am and they were alerted via a PCR call at 11.45 am. The police said three to four men forcefully entered the Ashok Vihar house of one Om Prakash Aggarwal and restrained the elderly couple and their maid.

The suspects then looted gold ornaments and other valuables before escaping the scene in the house owner's car. The crime team lifted fingerprints and other forensic evidence to assist in the investigation. The stolen car was later recovered, the police said.

"A case has been registered at the Ashok Vihar police station. The police have initiated an investigation to identify and track down the culprits," DCP (Northwest) Bhisham Singh said.

The Tribune, now published from Chandigarh, started publication on February 2, 1881, in Lahore (now in Pakistan). It was started by Sardar Dyal Singh Majithia, a public-spirited philanthropist, and is run by a trust comprising five eminent persons as trustees.

The Tribune, the largest selling English daily in North India, publishes news and views without any bias or prejudice of any kind. Restraint and moderation, rather than agitational language and partisanship, are the hallmarks of the newspaper. It is an independent newspaper in the real sense of the term.

The Tribune has two sister publications, Punjabi Tribune (in Punjabi) and Dainik Tribune (in Hindi).
